Head coach of Bayern Munich Thomas Tuchel empathizes with the Manchester United colleague Erik ten Hagia towards.
– There is always a lot of noise around United. The club’s ex-players work as commentators, and Sir Alex’s legacy creates pressure and huge expectations, Tuchel said.
The English giant has lost three of its first five league games of the season. The last time it happened was in 1989, when a young Scottish manager Alex Ferguson had yet to win anything at United’s helm.
– The results may not say that now, but the team is full of quality players, and the club has a culture of winning. We never underestimate that,” Tuchel continued.
Along with the game crisis, ten Hag has to think about how to replace the suspect of intimate partner violence Antony and false procurement of 85 million Jadon Sancho or should he completely abandon his football philosophy based on the rise of wing players.
In addition, the list of injured is as long as a year of hunger: Raphael Varane, Mason Mounta new confirmation Sofyan Amrabat and Harry Maguire.
– He had some trouble. Harry could train, but not travel, the Hag reasoned.
Although no United supporter wants an ex-skipper on the field, the thinness of the team is scary: ten Hag had to name no less than four goalkeepers for the opening round of the Champions League in order to fill the strength of 21 players.
– Of course it worries. Since the beginning of last season, I haven’t been able to choose the best starting line-up in my opinion, complained the Dutch pilot.
An important city
Ten Hag denied that the team should reset the early season. In any case, doing it at the Allianz Arena would be really difficult.
– We don’t need it. However, we partially played well even in losing games. We just have to be able to maintain that level for 90 minutes.

Bayern Munich starts as the overwhelming favorite for the meeting with the Euro giant.
– Concentration must not waver even for a moment. Bayern have so much individual skill and the team is very strong at home.
Munich is intrinsically linked to Manchester United’s history, since the plane carrying the team crashed at the Bavarian city’s airport in February 1958.
A total of 23 people died. Eight of them had just knocked Red Star Belgrade out of the European Cup semi-finals.
Because of the accident, Munich has become an important pilgrimage site for the United family. Even today, thousands of fans place their flowers at the corner of Rappenweg and Emplstrasse, which is called Manchesterplatz on the map.

Ten Hag also has his own personal relationship with the city. In the early stages of his career, he coached Bayern Munich’s second team.
– The first year was great, and we won the (Bavarian regional league) championship. There was bad luck in the second season, but overall it was very good. I enjoyed it very much.
